You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

Absolutely not.

As long as everyone can be together happily, like Xiao Deng said, stay together for the rest of their lives and never separate, everything else can be sacrificed, right?

I just won’t be performing on stage anymore.

As long as you can convince everyone well, you will definitely succeed.

By then, Xiaoxiang will be able to come back, and we can all get together again like before.

Nagasaki Suyo showed a sweet smile. She was born with a face as soft as jade and as beautiful as a flower. Her appearance was beautiful beyond words. When she smiled like this, it was like the dark night sky was dotted with stars, and the lonely plum blossom was set against the backdrop of snow, which made her look even more touching.

"call……"

She let out a sigh, adjusted her mood and energy, rubbed her soft cheeks with both hands for a while, relaxed her somewhat tense facial muscles, then put on a perfect smile and walked into Yuze Coffee Shop.

"Hello, welcome--"

A young waitress came to Nagasaki Suye. She was petite, with delicate features. She wore a white student shirt and a beige work apron. She looked very clean and tidy and gave a good impression.

"Is there anything you need help?"

"Hey, so much..."

Nagasaki Suyo naturally lowered her voice, her slender fingers resting on her fair and smooth cheeks, her bright aqua-blue eyes slowly scanning the store, and then she saw the target she wanted to find, a man and a woman sitting next to each other by the window.

So she gently pointed in that direction, her smile as sweet as candied fruit.

"Excuse me, what's up with those two people sitting by the window over there? I'm a friend of theirs."

The young waiter followed Nagasaki Suyo's finger and looked towards the window, then took out a small notebook from his pocket and flipped through it.

"Those two over there, right? You've already ordered a chocolate parfait and a velvet latte. Would you like to order anything else for your two friends?"

Already ordered...

Nagasaki Suyo retracted her fingers, thought about it according to her memory, and then spoke slowly in a beautiful voice.

"Then please give me a specially customized super classic cup with ice, berry cream, mango sauce, milk cap, orange chocolate chips, tropical pineapple fruit punch and tea shaved ice."

The young waiter blinked.

For a moment, I thought the other party was chanting a magic spell.

But her skilled work experience allowed her to quickly realize that for such a long name, it was enough to just omit the middle part and abbreviate it with the first letter at the beginning and the end.

"You want a glass of [Special Iced], right? Okay, I got it. I'll serve it to you later. Come this way, please."

Nagasaki Suyo nodded slightly, and followed the young waiter to the two young boys and girls who were watching Panda Collection videos together.

The two of them raised their heads in sync.

Two pairs of big eyes of different colors are filled with clarity purified by the cute panda.

Then they both said in unison.

"sit down."

...What's going on with this uncomfortable synchronization rate?

Nagasaki Suyo's social smile began to crack slightly. She adjusted her face, put her schoolbag on the seat opposite, pressed the back of her skirt with both hands, and sat down very elegantly and politely.

"Um... Li Xi-chan, long time no see. We haven't seen each other since the last rehearsal." She closed her eyes and smiled brightly. "Could you introduce the person next to you?"

Shiina Riki looked at the boy next to him. The boy shook his head, indicating that he could leave it to him, so he stood up and said.

"You guys talk about yourselves, I'll wait outside."

"Eh?"

This unexpected action disrupted all of Nagasaki Motoyo's plans. In her imagination, this conversation could only proceed smoothly with the presence of Shiina Riki. If Riki left at this moment, all her subsequent plans would have to be started over again.

"Wait."

Suddenly, the boy grabbed Shiina Riki's arm.

Nagasaki Sushi opened her thin lips in surprise. How could this man be so bold? Wasn't he afraid that Li Xi would scold him?

"what?"

However, what once again surprised Nagasaki Suyo was that instead of cursing, Shiina Riki actually stood there obediently, waiting for the boy to speak.

"Order me another cup of chocolate parfait," the boy said, looking at the glass he had already finished, still wanting more. "I'll pay you back next month when I get my salary."

"...Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache later?" Shiina Riki asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter. I'm very confident in my body. To be frank, I've never been sick since I was a child." The young man said proudly.

"That's what you said," Shiina Riki turned and extended his hand to the waiter, "Excuse me, another cup of chocolate parfait, please."

"Okay—" the young waitress responded quickly.

"Then I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything," Shiina Riki turned around and instructed, "Also, you don't have to pay me back. Didn't I promise to cover your food expenses for half a month?"

"Li Xi, you are such a nice person." The young man said sincerely.

This time, Shiina Riki didn't answer, but just turned his head and glanced at Nagasaki Suyo, who was shocked by the closeness of their relationship. A slightly complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then he walked out of the store alone, leaning against the wall to look at the starless night sky.

Nagasaki Suyo stared blankly at the direction where Shiina Riki left, her beautiful light blue eyes unable to suppress the shock.

She had expected that the boy sitting opposite her would have a close relationship with Li Xi, but she had never thought it would be this close...!

Not only can you call Li Xi's name...

And the atmosphere was so harmonious, Li Xi hadn't even shown it in Crychic...

Nagasaki Suyo turned around and looked at the boy who was wiping his mouth with a napkin in a long and elegant manner. All the inferences in her mind were wiped out as if swallowed by a tsunami.

Who on earth is this person...!?

"Long time no see, Suyo. Or rather, nice to meet you, Nagasaki-san."

The boy raised his eyes, interlaced his fingers, and supported his chin.

The smile is like the bright moon in my arms, bright and clear in my eyes.

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned.

This polite tone...

This smile that shines like the sun...

Why does he look so similar to the first time I met Xiaoxiang?

Nagasaki Suyo was confused by the faces that were too similar in front of her, and unconsciously overlapped Toyokawa Shoko's figure with Toyokawa Sho.

Even the words that fell into her ears overlapped with the voice of Toyokawa Shoko that day when she called her and invited her to join the band.

In an instant.

A strange electric current rushed into the body from the gaze that met with the other person's amber eyes, and spread to every part of the body at an astonishing speed.

Her breath hitched.

The world before her eyes was like a video with post-production special effects, and fragments of images she had never seen before began to flash inexplicably:

Standing patiently at the gate of a school I've never been to, waiting for someone to show up...

Once again, I stood on the stage playing Kasuga Shadow, looking at the figures below the stage in panic...

Together they came to the park where the night had ended, kneeling on the ground and begging for that person to look back...

These visions have no sound, no memory.

It comes and goes like the wind and cannot be caught.

It's like an old photo that disappears before your eyes the moment it is taken out of a dusty album.

Do not know why.

I clearly have no memory of any of this.

Even the cause and effect are not clear.

But Nagasaki Suyo felt a suffocating pain in her heart.

She tried to breathe, tried to catch her breath again.

During this process, his sight unconsciously met with the young man in front of him.

Suddenly.

She slowly opened her water-blue eyes.

The person in front of me.

Why does it feel so familiar...?

She held her breath, her long and thick eyelashes drooped slightly, and she blinked again and again, trying to pull herself back to normal from this abnormal state.

But that's it.

The man sitting opposite said again:

"I'm Toyokawa Sho, you can simply understand me as Toyokawa Shoko from another parallel world."

Nagasaki Suyo was completely stunned.

This sentence cleared all the thoughts in my mind.

ps: I found a voice pack of Su Shi and listened to it for more than ten minutes to increase the sense of immersion. The Li Xi in my mind was about to be beaten to his knees by the newly appeared Soyo

025. Nagasaki Suyo, is there something wrong with your play this time? (6k)

"Xiao Xiang from another... parallel world?"

Nagasaki Suyo felt her head buzzing, mixed with a sharp tinnitus echoing in her ears.

She tried to repeat what the other person had just said, but the turbulent waves in her heart had swept all her expectations and speculations before she stepped into the store into a bottomless torrent.

How is this possible… ?

In the real world...it's impossible for such a magical thing to happen, right?

But this gaze, this sight...

Nagasaki Suyo realized with disbelief that the other party was not lying.

She was a versatile child, but her parents' divorce dealt her an indelible blow, which led to a huge change in her already delicate and sensitive personality. She became a child who was extremely lacking in love and desperately longed for a stable relationship.

This kind of inner demand that cannot be ignored causes her to follow her mother who devotes herself to her career on a daily basis. She can't help but learn how her mother communicates with others with ease and what skills and communication methods she relies on to get what she wants from others.

Over time, under the influence of her mother, she really learned extremely superb social skills. She could roughly guess a person's inner state just through conversation and observation.

And now.

The experience and knowledge she gained from her mother told her that the person in front of her, whether it was their expression, tone of voice, or even their muscle movements and micro-expressions...

All, all.

There was no sign of lying.

Nagasaki Suyo looked back and felt a blankness in her heart.

She no longer knew what was going on.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't want to get dragged into your situation, Nagasaki-san, so I'm speaking directly to you. You must be feeling very confused right now, right? I'm the same way. Two days ago, I came to this world for unknown reasons. At that time, I was also confused and at a loss, but things are much better now."

Toyokawa Sho lowered his voice and spoke clearly, the volume just loud enough for Nagasaki Suyo, who was sitting across the table, to hear clearly.

"I agreed to meet you today just to explain my existence to you, Shigaraki-san."

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo remained silent.

She didn't know what to say at this moment.

This kind of question, which goes beyond the normal worldview and even escapes the laws of physics, is not something that a junior high school girl like her with immature skills and limited knowledge can solve.

All along, her responses to the world and her handling of interpersonal relationships have come from the experience she learned from her mother.

But my mother never taught me about this kind of situation...!

"Hello, everyone! Your specially customized super classic with ice, berry cream, mango sauce, milk cap, orange chocolate chips, tropical pineapple fruit punch, and tea shaved ice, and your chocolate parfait!"
